To clean your SD card, simply just format it via your computer.
I need to keep SD there 14GB of data on it,
Delete default.txt (or startup.txt depeding on your setup), data.img, rootfs.img, zImage, system.sqsh, any of the FSCKxxxx.REC files, the "Android" folder (if you have one), the "AndroidApps" folder (if you have one), the "conf" folder (if you have one), the "cache" folder (if you have one), the "download" folder (if you have one), the "media" folder (if you have one), the "startups" folder (if you have one), and the "wallpapers" folder (if you have one). That should delete most or all of the Android files.
i always wished android was in 1 folder for this reason.

I just ended up putting everything else that was WM related in its own folder instead... that way when I clean my SD I only have to worry about making sure that my "WMStorage" folder stays on my card, and I can delete everything else without fear.
i keep what i can in folders but android is still mixed in with stuff that has to stay at the root of the sd card. it doesnt bug me that much but i still wished it was set up a little different.

Thanks
It is all sorted out..

i got the latest build but nothing of the improvements are working on my tilt 2 i want to know how to uninstall it so could install again. thanks
goto remove programs itll be on the list and when ur done with that goto ur storage and delete the andboot folder
cant find anboot folder
If there is a folder called Android, delete that. If the andboot and android folders don't exist, you're going to have to delete the files manually.
Delete the following files and folders from the root of your microSD card (if they exist): HaRET.exe, default.txt (or startup.txt depeding on your setup), data.img, rootfs.img, zImage, system.sqsh, any of the FSCKxxxx.REC files, "AndroidApps" , the "conf" folder, the "cache" folder, the "download" folder, the "media" folder , the "startups" folder, and the "wallpapers" folder. That should be most or all of the files used by Android.
thanks master

How can I edit my cabs to change their default installation folder to SD/program files, for example, instead of their default installation folder which is usually somewhere on the device memory ?
I have got an app on my PC called WinCE Cab Manager. I used it to edit a cab file, changed the installation folder to \StorageCard\program files......but what it did was created a folder & subfolder on the device memory & named them StorageCard\program files

Should it not be "Storage Card" - with a space?
go in the CAB information properties,
edit installation directory,
add folder "Storage card" on root
add program files there or whatever.
for files then keep "install dir"
-
remember that installing on sd is not standard install.

Yes. I did that & the result was that it has created a folder on the device memory called Storage Card & installed the app in a subfolder in that folder.
It neglected the physical Storage Card completely. My objective is to change the default install dir of all my cabs so when I use XDA_UC, it automatically install them to the SD Card. What XDA_UC currently does is semi-auto install whatever I put in XDA_UC/SD, meaning that it runs the installer & asks me to select where to install the app.
oh.. And other thing is, if your card is not plugged in/initialized when UC will start, it may just create a folder Storage Card and then initialize SD as "Storage Card2" ... happened to me pretty messy.
You can make cabs which don't ask to ask:
wceload.exe "%1" /askdest
but there is no param. for default=SD
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5090353&postcount=74
I reckon you need a wceload.exe replacement, or to make a mortscript to click on SD option every time for you.
Anyway advice on that link above, that SD apps usually don't need re-installing is right too
Other option would be forgot the cab. make a zip file of all files and reg file and use mortscript to import them.

It is easy to zip all my cabs in one zip file. How do I create a reg file & how do I import them with mortscript & what do I do after importing them ?

you got it wrongly, the last option was not using CAB at all.
I don't know what you are trying to do. Hard to guess. Why would you want to install on SD on the first place?
In my case, I am placing maps and files which programs can only use from SD, I have them in zip and unzipping with 7zip which accepts plenty of arguments.
You know that CAB is something like zip. You don't need to use CAB and can have the same results. And if you creating those cab yourself, why not just create zips. And you have it compressed better too.
- what is reg? file containing registry entries. if you don't have any you don't need that.
- nothing to do after
- for files:
you place all files in folders in this zip file, starting with "Storage Card"
this will check SD card, if it's present and then unzip file "file.zip"
I have this file and 7zG.exe files in ROM-windows folder, but you can change that below.
for this script to run you need mortscript.exe and 7zip programs, they are free
==
SetMessageFont(17, "Tahoma" )
While( not DirExists("\Storage Card"))
SleepMessage( 99, "Insert SD card", "SD card missing", false, DirExists("\Storage Card"))
EndWhile
RunWait("\windows\7zG.exe"," x \windows\file.zip -y")
I am not that knowledgeable technically. I do not not create Cabs. All I am trying to do is figure out a way to have the cabs I have installed silently on the SD after I flash any new ROM. I place all my cabs on Storage Card in folder XDA_UC/SD. This is not a silent installation. It needs user intervention as on each cab installation, it prompts me to select where to install to (device or SD Card). I am very humble when it comes to reg files & stuff like that. I do not know how to write them or how to use them afterwards.
I have always wanted my settings saved aswell to be applied on the next ROM installation. Thanks to NRG, his ROMs come with Settings Export app that simplifies things but exporting all settings to Storage Card in folder XDA_UC & accordingly it is applied at new ROM installation.
why do you want to install to SD card?
What pda you have? Are you low on internal memory?
I only put an app on SD if I had less then 5MB internal free.
You should use your internal memory for programs as it's faster and better protected against lost clusters and unfinished writes.
And to use SD for personal data, as pictures, mp3 as it's easier to make backup of it and access speed doesn't matter there so much.
There is no reason keeping more then 5MB free of internal memory.
A time ago I put update of opera on SD, once when it crashed, it damaged file structures and I lost half of my data on SD.
You can have silent installs to internal memory.

Other thing is, as someone wrote before, for most of the apps you don't need to install again on SD card if they are still there. Before you reflash, backup
folder \windows\Start Menu and after reflash, copy it back.
Why is the sdcard listed in so many places. I know they are basically shortcuts to the sd because as of now I only have 2 gig free on my card and there is no room to copy/paste it or whatever.
When I look in root explorer i see /sdcard, /storage/emulated, /storage/sdcard0, and /data/media/0 all have my sd files in them.
My main problem is now quick pic sees double of everything, can I delete any of these mentioned above? I don't want to just "hide" them from quick pic, I want just one copy of each folder if possible.
I believe if you use a file explorer on the phone and not MTP, it's much quicker to just move the stuff you need to the root of the SD card and then delete the duplicates. I would wait for someone to verify that though before you proceed. Mine was doing something weird in TWRP. I tried to flash the stock 4.2 again in hopes any issues I had would be resolved. Didn't so I went to restore my CM10 data and it wasn't there. At all. I'm thinking to myself it somehow wiped everything. Nope. My files were there, but only when I flashed a fresh CM10 build. I don't know exactly what happened, but 4.2 has had some weird issues with recoveries, which were addressed for the most part.

use this guide to keep the old sdcard format..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1999214
So I flashed a new rom with all the wipes and I ended up with a couple issues and the typical 4.2 file structure under the "0".
I tried another ROM again today (with the wipes) and now I have two "0" folders, one embedded under another and a lot of my backups are in different locations.
So it's SDCard/0/0.
Is there a good way to fix this?

I know the CAUSE is from using an out-of-date recovery. TWRP hasn't had that issue for a while, but i think CWM only fixed it just recently. It didn't start until i believe 4.2.1 ROMS were flashed. I'm still not sure if it's a good thing or not to delete those "0" folders or not. I'm sure someone will chime in on that.
the 0 folders have your sd card files in them (pictures, music, etc). if you move all your stuff back to the root of your internal sd card you can delete the 0 folders.

I tried moving the folders on my windows PC (old pos) and it didn't work. Android file transfer doesn't work with my GS3 and my Mac.
Frustrating.
Anyways to reflash something in CWM or is moving the files the only way?
Edit: Astro works alright...so where should Ibe putting most of these files? Under SDCard or under SDCard/0?
Now i moved some folders up, the gallery shows everything as a picture (icons) and titanium can't find any apps.
Nw sure what to do.
After I went back to stock, re-rooted, and reflashed 4.2, I tried moving everything from /sdcard/0 to /sdcard. It seemed to work, but then all of a sudden, on the next boot, it was all gone. My internal storage was wiped.
Luckily most of the important stuff is on my external SD card, but that was still really frustrating.
Just a word of warning if you try to move these files. Make a backup.

No file moving should be done, it will most likely cause data loss when the issue is finally gone... If CWM has fixed it switch to the newest one or use TWRP and Fully Wipe the phone including format /system...
Here is a link to a script you can flash to move files from 0 folders back to sdcard, you can thank the OP of the script there:

Manual solution via Windows
I had the same problem. Solved via the following steps: Using Windows, navigate to deepest level "0" folder. Select all, copy. Navigate to the next higher level "0" folder (or the root "Phone" folder if you're only one step down). Paste. Windows will perform a merge, versus replace.
Next, delete the "0" folder from the directory you're currently in, the one you just copied all the files from. I should note, I actually moved the folder to my desktop just in case I needed to bring it back later. So far I haven't, but better safe than sorry.
Once that's done, select all in the same folder, copy. Navigate to the next higher "0" level folder or the root (or the root "Phone" folder if you're only one step down). Paste. Repeat same process, move up a level, repeat, move up a level. You'll need to do this for every "0" folder you have (I had two, I've seen reports of more & less).
Eventually, you'll have all the same files and directory structure merged up to the root Phone folder. My device, a Samsung S3 running 4.3, recognized and responded to the changes with no problems.
I decided to upgrade to Lollipop after holding out for awhile.... before I did though, as I knew I was going to run an RUU so I wouldn't have any problems with the OTA, I copied everything in my "storage" (all folders) to my windows laptop desktop via USB.
After upgrading, I copied it all back, making sure not to over-write anything.
What is strange is when I copied all my folders to my laptop initially, I didn't see a Download folder... which I expected to see. But after looking through the folders I had copied, I saw a folder called storage, and in that folder another called emulated, and then another called "0". In that folder I finally saw my Download folder.
I didn't think much of this at the time, however, when I look at storage from Root Explorer, I note there is a new Download folder at the "root" level of storage, but the storage/emulated/0 path is still there as well.... and following it takes me to my old Download folder....
So...to get back my original folders and contents before I upgraded to Lollipop, I have to copy over every folder in this path up 3 levels. i.e., from /storage/emulated/0/storage/emulated to /storage/emulated.
What is going on? Why is there an "0" and a "legacy" if I go up one level from /storage/emulated/??? Why did my old Download folder end up where it did?
I had this exact same thing in my mind.
Why is there such a folder ?
My phone storage was almost full and I found out this folder is taking up whole space.
I cut the storage folder and pasted it into memory card
now all my downloads go to memory card (mmc:storage/emulated/0)
+1
I have also this folder that takes a lot of internal memory space.
I experiment one thing:
I have 1 game that takes 2Gb of data and I have moved it to sdcard memory (using Android-M feature : move app from internal to sdcard )
I saw in this directory (emulated/0/ ) the 2Gb of this game. ????? So, I tryed to copy/paste this data to sdcard, in order to free internal memory space. But I loose the game's configuration.
I was thinking that moving app from internal to scard, the data of the app also move, isn't it ?
I need help to understand that ...
